Marty's Bent ------------ ![The Real Web 3.0](https://www.tftc.io/content/images/2025/09/image-2.png) via [Primal](https://primal.net/?ref=tftc.io) ![The Real Web 3.0](https://www.tftc.io/content/images/2025/09/martybent_a_clean_cut_blond_millennial_hosting_a_podcast_from_h_5772964f-6cee-4db7-9349-94b19d0157b4.png) I've explained a few times why the Web 3.0 meme that took hold during the 2020-2022 cycle is cringe and laughable from an implementation perspective. For those who don't recall and who aren't paying attention to what is reemerging, those who are confused about what's happening and/or shamelessly trying to swindle unsuspecting retail noobs out of their hard-earned money by pushing "creator tokens", "tokenized content", "meme coins", and a slew of other nonsensical Rube Goldberg machines that bamboozle the naive with technobabble. All of the proposed "solutions" for content or task monetization on the internet by the crypto sphere has always devolved into "spin up a token for it!" Publishing a podcast? Tokenize it and let your audience determine the value of it by letting its value float on the free market! Posting a hot take? If you can tokenize a podcast episode, why not a social media post? Issue a token! Have a fan base? Tokenize your brand and let those fans have a dick measuring contest and determine the winner by finding out who is willing to pay the most for your "soul token". Oh, did you say something controversial or become a "lame"? The winner of the dick measuring contest becomes poor in a matter of minutes. All of these "solutions" have failed to understand the root of the problem they're trying to solve; an incentive aligned value for value exchange that makes sense for the creator and the consumer and is anchored to the logical first principles of economic reality. Creating a token for everything turns everyone into degenerate speculators who are forced to adopt extremely high time preference behavior by attempting to time the market of individual markets they're speculating on. When will a podcast episode reach it peak as determined by click through rate, views per hour and average views per day 90 days after it was published? Who will be the focus of the 24-hour news cycle today and can you develop the researching skills to buy their token during the first minute of their 15-minutes of fame? You only have so much money and content production is seemingly infinite. How will you determine the opportunity cost of buying IShowSpeed's token over Adin Ross' when they're both having a "fire content day"? Did all of that sound retarded to you? That's because it is, and it is the snake oil that crypto people are selling when they pitch their version of "Web 3.0". No one in their right mind would want to live their lives attempting make all of these decisions and transactions to participate in the digital economy. As I said earlier, the problem that needs to be solved is an incentive aligned value for value exchange that makes sense for the creator and the consumer and is anchored to the logical first principles of economic reality. This was an incomplete explanation of the problem. And the incomplete explanation was missing the most important detail of the problem. Both content creator and consumer need to be able to solve that problem in a peer-to-peer fashion. The best way to solve this problem is by combining bitcoin with open source content distribution protocols like RSS and Nostr. We've talked about Podcasting 2.0 and Nostr many times in this newsletter. Podcasting 2.0 combines bitcoin over the lightning network and RSS to make podcast monetization peer-to-peer. Apps like Fountain make this is as easy as possible for both podcasters and listeners. Nostr is a more robust. The protocol enables you to create censorship resistant content of many types; tweet-like notes, long-form written content, video content, and physical goods that can be sold on peer-to-peer marketplaces on Nostr. The screenshot above was taken earlier today during the Rabbit Hole Recap livestream. [Primal](https://primal.net/?ref=tftc.io) pushed their latest update which enabled Matt and I (and any other livestreamer) to livestream via Primal over Nostr. The beauty of Nostr is that Primal isn't the only client that was sharing our livestream. Zap.stream, which have been using for over a year was streaming the show. Nostrudl was streaming the show. Many other clients were streaming the show. Each individual client has their own dedicated team building their own version of a visualization of the Nostr network. They choose how to filter the notes flowing through Nostr and how to present it to you. A fan of the show can choose their preferred client, watch the stream, and tip us in bitcoin if they find the content valuable. It's a beautiful thing. Post to the protocol and have your content surfaced and monetized on any client built on top of the protocol. What's even more beautiful is that the content can be monetized on Nostr. However, there's no need for a podcast episode token or "soul token" for people to speculate on because Nostr has integrated bitcoin as its native payment token. Instead of trying to complicate things by ignoring the double coincidence of wants problems by creating an infinite amount of speculative tokens just give the people what they want (and unknowingly need); bitcoin. It's simple, really. Unfortunately for those in crypto it's not as flashy, exciting, or exploitive as being able to monetize via degenerate tokenization. Surprisingly, this is incredibly contrarian at the moment despite how clearly asinine degenerate tokenization is. There are literally millions upon millions of people who are being completely bamboozled by this narrative and burning their money for believing the bull shit. This is very unfortunate for those who don't know better and very shameful for those who do know better, yet persist on trying to make others believe there is some fundamental value in this model. I am supremely confident that the Rube Goldberg machine Web 3.0 version will fail miserably and the less flashy and "boring" implementation via the combination of open and distributed content protocol and bitcoin will succeed massively in the long-run. And these aren't just words. Myself and the team at [Ten31](https://www.ten31.xyz/?ref=tftc.io) have put our money where our mouths are by supporting companies making the less flashy, more practical and more tactical implementation of Web 3.0 a reality. ### Will Institutional Adoption Turn Bitcoin Into Gold 2.0? Matthew Mežinskis warns that institutional adoption could fundamentally alter Bitcoin's nature, transforming it from a decentralized monetary network into "Gold 2.0" - a captured asset class. He points out how Bitcoin Treasury companies using excessive leverage create cascading liquidation risks that could rival traditional finance blow-ups. The government nationalization theory I brought up regarding MicroStrategy illustrates how authorities could potentially acquire massive Bitcoin holdings through corporate takeovers, similar to the Intel equity stake but with monetary implications. > "If Bitcoin turns into growth rates like \[traditional finance\]... that might be good for Bitcoin holders... but that might not be good for the world." - [Matthew Mežinskis](https://x.com/1basemoney?ref=tftc.io) Mežinskis emphasizes that heavy KYC requirements and withdrawal restrictions could push Bitcoin onto an exponential growth curve rather than its current sustainable power law trajectory. Our defense remains unchanged: maintain self-custody, run nodes, and ensure mining decentralization. Without these fundamental practices, Bitcoin risks becoming just another financial asset controlled by the same institutions it was designed to route around.

Key Takeaways ------------- ![TFTC - Bitcoin Pioneer Reveals $15M | 135 BTC Bitcoin Loophole (Not What You Think) | Tyler Stevens](https://www.tftc.io/content/images/2025/09/Tyler-Stevens.jpg) Tyler Stevens (XRG) reframes Bitcoin miners as smart electric heaters that turn every watt into heat while earning a “Bitcoin rebate,” making them viable replacements or supplements for propane/oil and even some electric systems, especially in cold, high-cost markets. Real-world pilots (e.g., hydro-cooled miners driving radiant floors) show strong economics, and the addressable “comfort heat” load is so large that even 1% adoption could add significant zettahash to the network while distributing hash rate back to homes and small businesses. The go-to-market path runs through HVAC/plumbing trades, with incentives like hash-rate splits for installers and simpler firmware to throttle miners to heat demand. As hardware matures (modular hashboards, single-phase hydro units) and software improves (fleet tools, fast tuning, room-sensor control), “heat punk” shifts from DIY novelty to a practical, cost-cutting energy upgrade that also strengthens Bitcoin. Best Quotes ----------- “Bitcoin mining is smart resistive heating. It’s the same as an electric heater, but with a protocol attached that pays you.” “Every watt of electricity that turns into heat is also going towards the mining network. Why wouldn’t you monetize that?” “Fifty percent of the world’s energy is used for heat, and half of that is comfort heat. Even 1% adoption adds multiple zettahash to the network.” “300 homes in Alaska could save $15 million a year on heating, and that subsidy is paid out by the Bitcoin network, not the U.S. government.” “This is not a mining operation that sells heat, it’s a heating operation that earns Bitcoin as a rebate.” “The HVAC industry hasn’t innovated in a century. Incentivizing installers with hash rate splits could flip the whole market.” “Bitcoin’s proof of work is literally a way to make computers sweat. Why not use that sweat to warm your home?” “People ask, ‘Why not just buy Bitcoin?’ But heating is a sunk cost, you’re going to pay it anyway. Why not earn sats at the same time?” “We’re niche of niche of niche, Bitcoin mining heating, but it feels like the perfect Trojan horse for decentralization.” “Imagine a future where blue-collar plumbers manage fleets of Bitcoin-heating systems across towns. That’s passive income and network resilience in one.” Conclusion ---------- Viewing miners as heaters first, and miners second, turns an unavoidable expense into a yielding utility that reduces bills, decentralizes hash ownership, and nudges pool diversity, all while improving comfort and efficiency. If products, firmware, and installer incentives align, HVAC pros can deploy fleets of Bitcoin-heated systems across homes and businesses, quietly embedding network security into everyday infrastructure. The result is a win-win: lower heating costs and a more resilient Bitcoin, with blue-collar trades at the center of the next wave of decentralization. Timestamps ---------- 0:00 - Intro 0:30 - Tyler's backgorund 7:01 - ASIC race and return to consumer application 11:28 - Making computers sweat 16:10 - Bitkey & Unchainedc 17:52 - Target markets for hashrate heating 20:10 - Total addressable market 22:37 - Demo of heat system at The Space 29:48 - Bitcoin rebate mechanics 34:23 - Obscura \* Opportunity Cost 35:48 - Pool distribution and market timing 50:48 - Smart heaters 56:20 - Exergy’s vision 1:05:01 - How to get started Transcript ---------- (00:00) We're talking about tens of millions of dollars of savings. The government subsidizes everyone's heating bills. They pay the utility directly. And 300 homes would save like $15 million. That's paid out by the Bitcoin network, not the US government. Running a small mediumsiz HVAC business, like great way to build a Bitcoin treasury. (00:18) You had to see people like yourself out there actually doing the hard work to solve that really hard long-term problem, which is how do we keep this sufficiently distributed? Are we going to distribute hash rate, Tyler? Way more than you think. Way more than you think. I was refreshing my stats for you, Marty, before I jumped on. Oh, good. Cuz the stats are what I want to talk about. (00:43) You got fresh stats just for you. I feel like every time I see you while we were in Georgia together. Yeah. A couple weeks ago. You always making progress. is always more excited than the previous time I saw you and getting me more bullish on mining waste heat as a consumer application. The heat's a product, not waste. But yeah. Yes. Yes. (01:08) Yeah. Yeah. It was fun to catch up in Georgia. Um we're tinkering. We're getting hash rate heating online. Well, let's um let's give the audience a little intro to yourself for those who may be unaware of what Tyler is up to. You have CEO of the space, but you're also um started a company using Bitcoin mining heat as a byproduct to do uh the heating uh in homes in home applications. Uh that company is called Xurgy. (01:43) So, why don't we get a little background on yourself, how you came to Bitcoin, Bitcoin mining specifically, and even further into your niche with a focus on using mining heat. Yeah, the Bitcoin story. Thanks for asking. I um moved out to Colorado after grad school. I was studying mechanical engineering and it was happen stance. I'm one of the lucky few I was listening to. (02:08) I think it was Jordan Peterson and Safeodine for my 20-hour drive from the Midwest. That was like one of my first intros to Bitcoin. And then I proceeded to listen to 19 more hours of Bitcoin podcast on my drive and immediately found the Bit Devs community out here. So, I was fresh blood, but I avoided all the shitcoinery. (02:27) I was lucky in that case. Um, my first Bitcoin I ever bought was at the all-time high of 2021, so it was all down. But I was surrounded by good people. I got brought out here to do aerospace engineering. So, I worked for a company owned by Loheed and Boeing called United Launch Alliance. (02:45) They're kind of the uh the government version of SpaceX, let's say. Um, SpaceX launches 100 plus rockets a year, though. ULA launches too. Um, and in that time, I I would spend more time with the Bitcoiners, obviously. was working on thermal stuff, temperature predictions, heat rates, had that kind of eye for things. (03:09) And it was at a bit devs once where a friend of mine, Travis, brought like an S19 um kit that was converted with a Loki board from Zack Bombstead to run off 110 volts. And that was where I really saw the light for Bitcoin heating. And so I came in viewing these things as waste heat out the get-go. That was my entry point to mining. Um, ultimately ended up leaving that role at the aerospace company after two years in January 24. It was funny. (03:29) I actually was up till 1:00 a.m. in the launch control room watching the rocket I worked on for 2 years launch. Went to bed for 6 hours. Came back 9:00 a.m. Quit. Went straight to Denver International Airport. Flew to NEMS. First time I saw you, I think, there at Bitcoin Park. Met Rod and the guy. Saw Schnitle with his hashtub. (03:50) And I was just I had I didn't really have a plan, but I knew like this is what I wanted to do. So what came out of that was that community from Bit Devs. We kept working to build our our Denver Bitcoin community into a physical location that started the space. Got 82 members now here. Most of them are in Colorado. So we do a lot of events and that's where my office is now. (04:12) And then in that time, I I kept researching this Bitcoin heating thing and kept having calls with people, learning, tinkering, and ultimately just decided to tell the guys at Brains, I was like, "Hey, I have a lot of notes on this. Like, why don't we just put it into a book?" And they were um helpful and a great partner in that sense. And so I put together a book, Bitcoin Mining Heat Reuse. (04:30) I got a copy of it here. And then the subsequent NEMS 2025, that was where we met and I got you a copy, Marty. I I launched that book this past January and then really after that come April time frame started to ideulate on how could this could get turned into a company and so started XRG in April with uh my friend Mike Clear and Dylan Sy and we our goal is really to decentralize hash rate bring mining back home where it started started in the homes with the laptops and the GPUs and transition to these industrial (05:03) products which makes sense like it's a story that you can follow all the steps difficulty went up. Got to have more power to compete. The devices literally like morphed into I see them as heaters because the reason they're shoe boxes and like the power constraint, the hash rate constraint, the efficiency constraint, they literally can't pump more power into them or they'll overheat. They're all like thermally bottleneck. (05:24) So, they're little heating boxes and we're trying to now use those for the main product they make, which is heat. Only sometimes do they get Bitcoin and bring it back home. I love it. That's an incredible story and I didn't know that background that you uh found Bitcoin via Jordan Peterson and say fell down the rabbit hole. I'm sure many people were listening to JP during the co time. (05:47) Yeah. And then it takes balls to quit your job right after you watch your baby launched into space 6 hours later. That's uh it's funny working for the defense contractor. My dad's a longtime Air Force vet. I always had that mindset in my family. It's funny. My dad is very much like the straight arrow government guy. (06:11) I joke with him cuz he went right in after college. So, he's never made a free market dollar in his life. Like every dollar he's made is printed or stolen. Um, love you, Dad. But, and my mom is very much like the opposite. A
